Biography
In the chapel of St Andrew, off the north transept of Westminster Abbey, is a very large monument, about 24 feet high, to the memory of Henry (Norris or Norreys) 1st Baron Norris of Rycote (?1525-1601) and his wife Margaret, daughter of John (Williams), 1st Baron Williams of Thame. His mother was Mary (Fiennes) and his father Henry was executed by Henry VIII in 1536 for allegedly being a lover of Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth I showed Henry and Margaret particular favour, appointing him ambassador to France and creating him Baron Norris in 1572.[1]
Her birth is estimated by some to be as early as 1521 and their marriage sometime between December 1542 and 26 August 1544. [2]

Williams-26876 and Williams-5437 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, places, husband has alternate spelling of last name
